- Muscle Weakness
Report: We hereby present a 31-year-old male patient admitted to emergency services who had suddenly developed muscle weakness in his upper and lower extremities. [dergipark.org.tr]
Because muscle contraction is needed for movement, a disruption in normal ion transport leads to episodes of severe muscle weakness or paralysis. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

- Fracture
Trauma and concurrent facial paralysis are usually in the same subsite (right temporal bone fracture and right facial paralysis). There is one pathophysiological pattern for a single temporal bone fracture in a subsite. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
‘Other patients may present with fractures, bone pain, cranial nerve palsies and osteomyelitis.’ [oxforddictionaries.com]
- Myopathy
CONCLUSIONS: This case report highlights the importance of considering hypokalemia and renal tubular acidosis in the differential diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis and proximal myopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Common causes of paralysis The most important causes of paralysis are: Myopathy – these are conditions which cause paralysis by directly inducing muscle weakness and include: congenital diseases, muscle inflammation and drug & alcohol induced Neuropathy [cyclonemobility.com]
Other causes include thoracic trauma, cardiac surgery, [8] multiple sclerosis, myopathies, muscular dystrophy ( acid maltase deficiency ), Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Parsonage-Turner syndrome (neuropathy of brachial plexus). See Complications. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Types[edit] Periodic paralysis is an autosomal dominant myopathy with considerable variation in penetrance, leading to a spectrum of familial phenotypes (only one parent needs to carry the gene mutation to affect the children, but not all family members [en.wikipedia.org]
- Myalgia
After aprodromal phase (paraesthesias, restlessness, irritaility, fatigue, and myalgias) neurological symptoms will start with paralysis of the lower extremities. The deep tendon reflexes are weak or absent. [cvbd.org]

Neurologic
- Stroke
Brain diseases – these include: stroke, traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy Generally, strokes are the most common cause of paralysis. [cyclonemobility.com]
Stroke For facial paralysis caused from stroke, the treatment is the same as for most strokes. If the stroke was very recent, you may be a candidate for a special stroke therapy that can destroy the clot causing the stroke. [healthline.com]
Paralysis or the inability of a muscle to move is one of the most common disabilities resulting from stroke. As many as 9 out of 10 stroke survivors have some degree of paralysis immediately following a stroke. [stroke.org]
This case highlights the importance of MRI with perfusion imaging in establishing the diagnosis of stroke mimics and avoiding unnecessary thrombolysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Quadriplegia
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia or tetraplegia is where the individual is paralysed below the neck. This affects arms, legs as well as many bodily functions. Like with paraplegia, a SCI is the most common cause of paraplegia. [cyclonemobility.com]
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia, which is often referred to as tetraplegia, is paralysis below the neck. All four limbs, as well as the torso, are typically affected. [spinalcord.com]
Paralysis of the arms and legs is quadriplegia. Most paralysis is due to strokes or injuries such as spinal cord injury or a broken neck. [nlm.nih.gov]
Buta person with paralysis that affects both their armsand their legs (tetraplegia/quadriplegia)willneed a great deal of support, and it is unlikelythey willbe able to live without a dedicated carer. [zana.com]
- Monoplegia
Although there are many different types of paralysis, these can be broadly categorised into five main types: monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia and quadriplegia. Monoplegia Monoplegia is where one area of the body is paralysed. [cyclonemobility.com]
Monoplegia Monoplegia is paralysis of a single area of the body, most typically one limb. People with monoplegia typically retain control over the rest of their body, but cannot move or feel sensations in the affected limb. [spinalcord.com]
If the patient experiences paralysis in one limb, he or she has monoplegia. Sometimes monoplegia is a temporary condition after a stroke or brain injury. Loss of movement and feeling in the limbs on only one side of the body is hemiplegia. [knappandroberts.com]
Depending on the extent of paralysis, one speaks of monoplegia (paralysis of only one limb), paraplegia (paralysis of the upper or lower limbs), tetraplegia (paralysis of all limbs) or hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). [ottobock.com.au]
Depending on the extent of paralysis, it may be referred to as monoplegia (paralysis of only one limb), paraplegia (paralysis of the upper or lower limbs), tetraplegia (paralysis of all limbs), or hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). [ottobockus.com]
- Confusion
The brain hates to be confused, says Ramachandran. So when people with BIID feel the sensation of touch, they can’t incorporate this message into the regions of the brain that identify the limb as being part of themselves. [newscientist.com]

Symptoms that are associated with sudden paralysis include: Fever Confusion Vision problems Headache, which may be severe Drooping face Memory loss Problems speaking or understanding speech Loss of consciousness, even if very brief Problems with balance [dignityhealth.org]
You feel confused and dizzy. The body loses coordination. There is change in the vision. There is loss of power or numbness in legs, arms or both. [practo.com]
- Tremor

Although paralysis is typically characterized by lack of movement, some forms of paralysis, called palsies, cause uncontrollable movement and tremors. [loyolamedicine.org]

Symptoms of thyrotoxicosis (eg, anxiety, emotional lability, weakness, tremor, palpitations, heat intolerance, increased perspiration, weight loss) are typically present. [msdmanuals.com]
Workup
Repeated magnetic resonance imaging as well as targeted workup failed to reveal a diagnosis. 20 months following symptom onset, after the patient's facial function slowly progressed to a complete paralysis, repeat magnetic resonance imaging revealed enhancement [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
After treatment, 73 patients (69.5%) improved to grade I, 29 (27.6%) were at grade II or III, and only 3 (2.9%) remained at grade IV or higher. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Facial paralysis is a condition caused by a wide variety of etiologies, including neurologic, congenital, infectious, neoplastic, systemic, and iatrogenic causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Discussion The pathophysiology of TPP focuses on Na-K ATPase pump. It has been demonstrated that thyrotoxic patients with TPP have significantly higher pump activity than the ones without the disorder (9-11). [turkjem.org]
Prevention
Most of the other causes of paralysis are easily preventable with good tactics. You can completely prevent paralysis from hitting floating eyes by not hitting them in melee unless you have reflection. [nethackwiki.com]
Prevention The only way to prevent sepsis is to prevent infections or to treat them as quickly and effectively as possible. [sepsis.org]
